You are not installing RPMs but SRC.RPMs - means sources not binaries.
The one who packaged the SRC.RPM/SRPM did that as user machbuild. As
this user does not exists on your system you get this warning messages.
The SRC.RPM is deflated though. You could use the source RPM with any
other user without a problem.
I just suspect that you don't want to build your own RPM but to install
a binary RPM. So get the right package.
